Stripped CD FAQ

  • Ich werde immer wieder angeschrieben, wie man das Problem mit den Videos auf der CD "Stripped" behebt!
    Meist werden im PC nur die Musik Tracks angezeigt und nicht der CD-Rom Bereich, habe dazu ein FAQ von VIRGIN gefunden:


    ********FAQ*********


    The Rolling Stones Stripped CD - as of 10 October 1997


    Thank you for purchasing "The Rolling Stones - Stripped" CD.


    This FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is a combination of help, hints
    and trouble shooting with regard to the BONUS interactive multimedia
    content on "Stripped". The BONUS multimedia programme, which can be
    played on MOST* multimedia computers has been included on "Stripped" for
    your enjoyment at no extra charge. But you don't need this FAQ to enjoy
    the MUSIC! Just put "Stripped" in your audio CD player and listen to a
    superb album by the Rolling Stones which we know you'll enjoy - it
    really is a cracker of an album!


    *-------------------------------------------------------------------*
    * Special Note *
    * *
    * - This note is an addendum to the original October 1996 FAQ - *
    * *
    * Since the release of "Stripped" many technological changes have *
    * taken place. One such change is in Microsoft Windows 95. *
    * Whereas Windows 3.1 and earlier versions of Windows 95 supported *
    * Pre-Gap Enhanced CD technology (Pre-Gap ECD) - which is the *
    * technology used on "Stripped" - current versions of Windows 95 *
    * do not. *
    * *
    * This unilateral disabling of pre-gap ECD support by Microsoft *
    * effectively renders the multimedia content on pre-gap ECD's *
    * such as "Stripped" inaccessible under Windows 95. This disabling *
    * was implemented without consultation or warning. We discovered *
    * the problem when customers reported that copies of "Stripped", *
    * which had worked perfectly well before, suddenly ceased working *
    * after users upgraded their operating system to the newer versions *
    * of Windows 95. *
    * *
    * Microsoft Windows 95 DOES support the multi-session ECD formats *
    * CD-Extra and "Blue Book". All Virgin's current ECD releases are *
    * in these formats. *
    * *
    * If you are reading this FAQ because you have Windows 95 and all *
    * you can see are the audio tracks then, unfortunately, you will be *
    * unable to access the multi-media content on "Stripped". The CD *
    * is not defective, and will work on compatible CD ROMs running *
    * under Windows 3.1 or earlier versions of Windows 95. *
    * *
    * Because "Stripped" is such a great album we manufactured many *
    * millions of copies - one of which you now have. We are very *
    * sorry for any disappointment - but the problem is due to *
    * circumstances completely out of our control. *
    * *

    But you want to know more about the "Stripped" multimedia programme -
    that's why you're looking at this FAQ! Some of you may need a little
    help getting started, some just a hint or two and others answers to a
    problem.


    The world of computers is still evolving. There are many conflicting
    standards and we've tried to make the "Stripped" multimedia programme
    compatable with as many computer systems as possible. But even with our
    best intentions it won't work on them all.



    It is possible that "stripped" will not play on your computer because of
    hardware or software conflicts. If this turns out to be the case for
    you, we share in your disappointment - but this is not an inherent fault
    in "stripped" - it is simply a limitation of current technology. But
    even if the multimedia programme doesn't work for you - the music of The
    Rolling Stones "Stripped" is there for your enjoyment - and that is,
    after all, what "Stripped" is REALLY all about - the MUSIC.

    This FAQ includes answers to all the questions we've received (that we
    have answers for!) regarding the "Stripped" multimedia programme. It
    will be constantly updated as we find out more. To get the latest
    version of this FAQ either e-mail http://mailto:stripped@vmg.co.uk or vist the
    stripped help site at http://www.vmg.co.uk/stripped


    ________________________________________________


    This FAQ is split into three sections-


    1-IBM PC USERS
    2-MACINTOSH USERS
    3-GENERAL
    ________________________________________________
    1-IBM PC USERS


    a) Minimum System Requirements:-


    MPC 486/25sx processor
    4 MB RAM free
    640x480 monitor
    256 colours
    300 KB (2x) CD-ROM drive
    Windows 3.1 or later
    Multimedia compatible Sound Card
    QuickTime for Windows 2.0 (included)


    b) Loading the CD information:-


    Your PC must be a 386, 486 or Pentium model running Micosoft
    Windows 3.1 or Windows 95. It is important that the programme
    is run directly from either of these software options as it
    cannot be run through any of the "auxilliary shell" software
    packages. Please make sure that any auxilliary shell programmes
    are turned OFF.


    You must also have Apple Quicktime 2.0 for Windows, which is
    included on the "Stripped" CD and can be easily installed.


    Place the CD, Printed Side Up, in your PC's CD ROM Drive.
    If you have Windows 3.1 - select "File Run" from Programme
    Manager. If you have Windows 95 select "File run" from "Start".
    Use browse to select your CD ROM Drive - this will probably be
    drive D or E.


    If Apple Quicktime for Windows has not yet been installed on your PC,
    select QTinstal.exe on the CD and click OK. Then click OK again to run
    it and follow the instructions.


    To play the Multimedia programme simply select the file called
    "Program.exe" on the CD and click OK. Then click OK to run it.


    Please note: There is NO Setup.exe. Reference to Setup.exe in the CD
    Booklet is due to a typographical error. To play the programme all that
    is required is to select "Program.exe".


    If you need help with using your CD ROM drive or Windows, please
    see your PC dealer.


    c) Sorting the sound


    Your computer must have a Soundblaster compatible sound card
    which has been correctly installed and configured in order to
    play the Multimedia programme.


    If your computer requires external Computer Speakers, be sure
    they are plugged in correctly and switched on.


    If you're not sure whether your computer has a sound card or how
    to configure it, please refer to the sound card installation
    instructions or see your computer dealer.


    d) Sorting the colours


    The Multimedia Programme will only run if your computer can
    display in 256 colours.


    If you have a PC and are running Windows check your display
    settings in "Windows Setup" If you are running Windows 95, check
    the Display Settings in Control Panel.


    If your PC supports 256 colours, select the 256 colour option and
    re-start Windows. Not all PC's support 256 colours and incorrect
    settings can cause display problems. However, this problem is
    restricted to PC's only and not Apple Mac's.


    If you are unsure about your computer's video settings, please
    see your computer dealer.


    e) Advice on running the CD programme


    This multimedia programme has been designed to play on a wide variety of
    computers. Not all PC hardware combinations will work. Some video
    cards and CD ROM drives (such as NEC) are not compatible. See item
    Section 3 - General, item 6 for a list of CD ROMs known to be
    incompatable.


    Please see your computer dealer about the multimedia
    compatibility of your computer.



    ________________________________________________
    2-MACINTOSH USERS


    a) Minimum System Requirements


    030 (25 Mhz) processor
    4 MB RAM free
    13-inch 640x480 monitor
    256 colours
    300 KB (2x) CD-ROM drive
    System 7.01 or later
    QuickTime 2.0 (included)


    b) Loading the CD information


    You must have Apple Quicktime 2.0, which is included on the
    "Stripped" CD and can be easily installed.


    Place the CD printed side up in your CD ROM drive. When the
    "Stripped" icon appears on your Macintosh Desktop, Click on the
    "Stripped" icon to open the folder.


    If Apple Quicktime 2.0 has not yet been installed on your Mac,
    select and drag the contents of the folder labelled "Put these in
    your system folder" and place it in your system folder. Then
    restart your MAC.


    Inside the "Stripped" folder are 2 icons labelled "Stripped 16
    bit" and "Stripped 8 bit". Click on the "Stripped 16 bit" first.
    If your Mac isn't configured for 16 bit then click on the icon
    "Stripped 8 bit" instead.


    If you are having difficulty running the Quicktime portion of the
    programme, check that you have loaded Quicktime 2.0, Quicktime
    Powerplug, Apple Multimedia Tuner & Sound Manager (which are all
    included in the programme) into your system folder. If problems
    persist, go to Apple, open control panel and find the extensions
    manager. Turn OFF all extensions except Apple CD-Rom, Quicktime,
    Quicktime Powerplug, and Sound Manager. Then re-start your
    machine.


    If you need further help, please see your Macintosh dealer.


    c) Advice on running the CD programme


    On all Apple Macintosh Computers the Virtual Memory must be
    turned OFF when playing the multimedia programme, otherwise the
    system will hang. To turn off Virtual memory, pull down your
    Apple Menu Items, select Control Panels and then select memory.
    Choose the OFF button under Virtual Memory. If your Macintosh
    also has the "Apple Modern Memory Manager", set this to OFF as
    well.


    This multimedia programme has been designed to play on a wide
    variety of Macintosh computers, though not all models are
    completely compatible. The Performa 630CD, Power PC6100 and
    PC8100 may display some minor cosmetic irregularities within
    certain portions of the multimedia programme. The programme will
    not run on the new line of "PCI-bussed Mac's" ( notably the 7200,
    7500, 8500 and 9500 models).


    Please see your Macintosh dealer about the multimedia
    compatibility of your Macintosh.



    ________________________________________________
    3-GENERAL



    1) Some sections work - but some don't:


    If you have successfully installed the programme and are still having
    problems with certain sections then try removing the CD from your CD-Rom
    drive and cleaning it. If you are still unable to view certain sections
    of the programme then it is likely that the CD is damaged. Ask your
    retailer to replace it.


    2) Stripped & CD+:


    Please note that Stripped is an Enhanced CD and NOT a CD+. CD+ is a
    different format which requires special CD drivers. Stripped requires
    no special drivers.


    3) Shattered & Tumbling Dice Footage:


    If you are having difficulty finding the backstage footage of
    "Shattered" and "Tumbling Dice" - these are accessed by a "secret" hot
    area which you can find by moving the mouse cursor over the pendant
    around Keith's neck on the main screen (where you select the video,
    interviews & lyrics). When the pendant's "hot" and your mouse cursor
    passes over it, it will glow. But the pendant's only "hot" sometimes!


    (Hint: If you double click on the word "STRIPPED" on the main screen,
    you will notice that the background changes colour. The pendant becomes
    "hot" when the background is sepia (sort of tan/light brownish) and the
    least colourful - happy hunting!)


    If your wondering why the guitar break for the backstage footage of
    Shattered suddenly becomes a 12-bar blues -- because that's the way God
    planned it.


    4) Phillips CDi:


    The AUDIO portion of the Stripped Enhanced CD CAN be played on Phillps
    CDi machines but the MULTIMEDIA portion CANNOT. This is because Phillps
    CDi machines will only play Phillips CDi format mutimedia programmes and
    not standard CD ROM format - which is what Stripped is.


    5) Audio:


    Although every effort has been made to make sure the audio portion of
    the CD will play on all CD players, a few models are known to have
    problems playing the Stripped album because of the bonus multimedia
    elements. In some instances, you can play the audio by skipping to Track
    2 and then backing into Track 1.


    We have discovered that Stripped may not play properly in certain audio
    CD players:


    Sanyo 10 disc multiplayer (car)
    Blaupunkt 10 disc Multiplayer (car)


    JVC RC-X3 portable (1988)
    Aiwa Discman


    JVC XL-ME91
    JVC XL-V101
    Marantz CD-63
    Philips CDi 210.


    6) CD-ROM Models with known incompatability:


    The Stripped Enhanced CD uses the I-TRAX enhanced CD technology to
    combine CD audio with CD ROM multimedia content on the same disc. It
    does this by "hiding" the CD ROM data in track 1 index 0 of the audio
    session on the CD - sometimes refered to as track 0.


    Unfortunately, the I-TRAX enhanced CD technology is not compatable with
    all brands of CD ROM drive. This is NOT a fault of the Rolling Stone's
    Stripped Enhanced CD, but a limitation of the I-TRAX enhanced CD
    technology and current variations in CD ROM computer hardware.


    The symptoms of an incompatable CD ROM drive are:


    1) Only the fourteen audio files ( track01.cda - track14.cda ) are
    recognised.
    2) No files at all are recognised on the CD.
    3) The CD itself is not recognised as being in the drive.


    ************ IMPORTANT NOTE re: Windows 95 *********************


    Since the release of "Stripped" Microsoft has updated Windows 95.
    The newer versions DO NOT support pre-gap Enhanced CD Technology!
    Even on CD ROM drives that worked under earlier versions. We're really
    sorry but this was completely out of our control. The symptoms are
    that Stripped is seen as only an audio CD. This will apply to ALL
    pre-gap/hidden track technology Enhanced CDs. Thank you Microsoft.


    If you have comments or suggestions pertaining to the I-TRAX enhanced CD
    technology, please email I-TRAX directly: http://mailto:webmaster@itrax.com


    What follows is a list of CD ROM drives which we have discovered are not
    compatable with the I-TRAX hidden track tecnology used on stripped.
    Most of these makes & models have been brought to our attention SINCE
    the release of Stripped. Question marks next to the CD ROM drive
    indicate that we have had reports of problems from customers, but we
    have been unable to verify or test the make & model in question.

    Sweet Cousin Cocaine, lay your cool cool hand on my head...


  • Sorry, da bin ich einfach zu blöd für. Wenn ich die vielen Stellen seh, wo ich vielleicht draufklicken soll und dann noch ´nen Patch. Da patch ich mich. Das kann ich nieeee.
    Hätte überhaupt keinen Mut, das anzugehen.
    Klasse wäre es, wenn jemand die Videos von dieser CD einfach auf ne CD spielen kann und ..... .sollte auch im Sinn der MI sein.
